003-004 Overhead Set

Adjust

Valve adjustment marks are on


the vibration damper. The
marks must be aligned with the
pointer.

Rotate the engine clockwise, as


the arrow on the pulley indicates,
with a barring tool.

Check that the number 1 right-


bank valves are ready to be
adjusted, by seeing that both
rocker levers on the number 1
right bank are loose and the
rocker levers on the number 6 left
bank are uneven.

If not, rotate the engine 180


degrees.

The rocker levers will be the same height on the cylinder ready for valve adjustment.

The crossheads and valves are ready to be adjusted on the cylinder that has all the valves closed.

Check the two cylinders shown by a mark on the vibration damper.

If the rocker lever assemblies


have been removed, use this
step to determine the cylinder
to set.

All adjusting screws must be


loose on all cylinders and the
push rods must remain in

alignment.

Hold both rocker levers against


the crossheads. Turn the
adjusting screws until they
touch the push rods. Turn the
locknuts until they touch the
levers.

The cylinder with the adjusting


screws that are nearly the
same height is ready for valve
adjustment. The second
cylinder that is not ready for
adjustment will have the
adjusting screw for the intake
valves more than five threads
above the exhaust screw.

The rocker levers will be close


to the same height above the
top of the rocker lever housing
on the cylinder ready for valve
adjustment.

If the rocker levers have not


been removed and installed
again, wiggle the valve rocker
levers on the two cylinders in
question. The crossheads and
valves on the cylinder where
both levers feel loose are ready
to adjust.

CAUTION

Use the correct firing order for


the engine. Failure to do so can
cause engine damage.

Adjustment can begin on any


valve set mark. In the example,
assume the R1-6 mark is aligned
and the adjusting screw height for
the valve on cylinder number 1
right bank is the same, indicating
the valve is closed and ready to
adjust.

After identifying which cylinder is


ready to be adjusted, follow the
engine firing order for subsequent
adjustments.

The firing order for the engine is


1R-1L-5R-5L-3R-3L-6R-6L-2R-2L-
4R-4L.

Crosshead adjustment must


always be made before
attempting to adjust the valves.

Adjust the crossheads on the


cylinder that has both valves
closed.

Loosen the crosshead adjusting


screw locknuts on the intake and
exhaust valve crossheads.

Use the following procedure to


adjust both the intake and exhaust
crossheads.

Turn the adjusting screw out at


least one turn.

Hold the crosshead down against


its guide.

Turn the adjusting screw in until it

touches the top of the valve stem,


but does not raise the crosshead.

The adjusting screw must not


turn when the locknut is
tightened.

Tighten the locknut using


torque wrench service tool,
Part Number ST-699, with
adapter (1).

Torque Value: 45 n.m [33 ft-


lb]

Tighten the locknut using


torque wrench service tool,
Part Number ST-699, without
adapter.

Torque Value: 60 n.m [44 ft-


lb]

Select a feeler gauge for the


correct valve lash
specification.

Insert the gauge (2) between


the rocker lever and the
crosshead.

Intake and
Exhaust Valve
Adjustment
Valve mm [in]
Exhaust 0.80 0.032
Intake 0.43 0.017

Two different methods for


establishing valve lash
clearance are described
below. The two methods are
torque wrench method or feel
method; either method can be
used; however, the torque
wrench method has proven to
be the most consistent.

Use a service tool inch pound


torque wrench, Part Number
3376592.

Torque
Value: 0.68 n.m [6 in-lb]

For the feel method, use a


screwdriver to turn the
adjusting screw only until the
lever touches the feeler gauge.

The adjusting screw must not


turn when the locknut is
tightened.

Tighten the locknut using


torque wrench service tool,
Part Number ST-699, with
adapter (1).

Torque Value: 45 n.m [33 ft-


lb]

Tighten the locknut using


torque wrench service tool,
Part Number ST-699, without
adapter.

Torque Value: 60 n.m [44 ft-


lb]

The feeler gauge must slide


backward and forward with
only a slight drag.

Attempt to insert a feeler


gauge that is 0.03 mm [0.001
in] thicker. The valve lash is
not correct when the thicker
gauge will fit.

Repeat the adjustment


process until the clearance is

correct on both the intake and


the exhaust valves on the
cylinder being adjusted.

After the overhead has been


completely set, check the
adjusting screw protrusion.
Approximately three threads must
be exposed above the locknut.

If not, look for:

 Overhead set improperly


 Rocker housing gasket
missing
 Push rod not in socket
 Cam follower socket not
seated properly
 Nut thickness not standard
 Crosshead off valve stem.
